After setting forth the requirements an automotive diesel engine has to meet, as well as the recent performance evolutions, the contribution of turbochargring and intercooling is stated. Problems in relation with turbochargers efficiency and their matching are then brought up, outlining the development wished in the field of turbos. Different ways of intercooling are then compared, this comparison leading to the choice of the air-to-air frontal system. Finally, maintenance problems are reported, primarily that of compressor dirt build up. (Buehn)
